## Screenplay Formatting

### Inline Formatting

Apply bold, italic, or underline to notes or specific words:

| Action        | macOS Shortcut |
| :------------ | :------------- |
| **Bold**      | `Cmd+B`        |
| **Italic**    | `Cmd+I`        |
| **Underline** | `Cmd+U`        |

<Note>
  Standard screenplay formatting does not use bold or underline for dialogue or action. Use these styles sparingly, or inside inline notes.
</Note>

### Element Types

Quickly change the type of the active line or paragraph:

| Action            | macOS Shortcut |
| :---------------- | :------------- |
| **Action**        | `Ctrl+Cmd+1`   |
| **Scene Heading** | `Ctrl+Cmd+2`   |
| **Character**     | `Ctrl+Cmd+3`   |
| **Dialogue**      | `Ctrl+Cmd+4`   |
| **Parenthetical** | `Ctrl+Cmd+5`   |
| **Transition**    | `Ctrl+Cmd+6`   |
| **Lyric**         | `Ctrl+Cmd+7`   |
| **Centered**      | `Ctrl+Cmd+E`   |

<Tip>
  You can also press **Tab** or **Return** while writing to cycle through element types automatically. See [Formatting Basics](/writing/formatting-basics) for more details.

## Common Questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I customize keyboard shortcuts?">
    Keyboard shortcuts are preconfigured to match standard screenwriting muscle memory and cannot be customized in settings.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why don't the navigation commands work?">
    Make sure you're focused in the script editor. Some window-level commands require the cursor to be active inside the screenplay text area.

    `Cmd+Opt+M` toggles the scroll gutter map on the right edge of your editor, which displays a birds-eye view of your screenplay's structure and scene lengths.
